Quantitative organic and inorganic estimations involve the ability to

design reagents such as polymers, crown ethers, cryptands, calixarenes etc.

which can target a desired ion and provide quantitatively efficient

selectivity and isolating that ion from its surrounding environment. Organic

means of

reagents with increased selectivity, sensitivity and specificity towards

inorganic ions have found utility in diversified fields like agriculture,

pharmaceuticals, biochemical, environmental studies, chemical analysis etc,

Presently, a large number of organic reagents1'6 targeting inorganic analysis

are known.

Calixarenes, of vase like macrocycles, have been under

development in the research laboratories for the last 50 years. The origin of

calixarenes was put in the form of phenol-formaldehyde chemistry in the

laboratories of Baeyer in 1870’s.7 He obtained uncharacterizable resinous

tars as a condensation product of phenol and formaldehyde in’pfresence of

mineral acid. Blumer,8 Storey9 and Luft10 tried to tame these tars and were

unable to produce materials with marketable quality. Success was to go to

Baekeland11 when he filed a patent in 1907 on his process to make

Ba kdlite.12

13-14Zinke and co-workers were among the first to carry out a

systematic investigation of the phenol-formaldehyde reactions. They

simplified the problem by looking at p-substituted phenols instead of phenols1A.

to avoid cross-linking problems. Zinke proposed a cyclic tetrameric

structure for his base catalysed reaction product in accordance with Niederl

and Vogel15 who had also proposed a cyclic structure to compounds,4'

obtained by acid catalysed treatment of aldehydes and phenols. The

pioneering efforts of Zinke and his co-workers introduced to the chemical

world a series of compounds whose structures appeared to be accurately

and adequately described as the cyclic tetramers.14 The other method,

Hayes and Hunter synthesis16 provides a classic example of the use of a

halogen as blocking group.16 This method demonstrated its potential in the

preparation of a series of tetramers, pentamers, hexamers and heptamers.

Few years later this method of synthesis was further exploited and

Later Cornforth20 ventured into the Zinke17-19improved by Kammerer et al.

procedure and contradicted Zinke’s assumption that a single product is

formed in every instance. Under similar reaction conditions he isolated

higher melting and lower melting materials from p-tert-butyl phenol and

p-octyl phenol. Cornforth inferred that both compounds are diastereo

isomers arising from hindered rotation. However, Kammerer et al.

Munch21 contradicted this assumption with 1H NMR data. Munch et a!.

investigated the petrolite dftnulsifier made by oxyalkylating the condensation

product of j>-tert-butyl phenol and- formaldehyde and concluded that although

the recipe was different from the one described by Zinke, the material that*

they had isolated must be a Zinke’s cyclic tetramer.

17,18 and

22,23

24-26Gutsche, the pioneer of Calixarene chemistry, has chosen Zinke’s

product as a potential candidate for enzyme mimic building. He coined the

name “calixarenes" for these products. The name is derived from the Greek

‘calix’ mean vase and ‘arene’ which indicates the presence of aryl residues '

in the macrocyclic array. He further used different substituted phenols and

elucidated the condensation products as cyclic tetramers.24 Gutsche

demonstrated that the outcome of the reactions can be strongly influenced

by reaction conditions, thereby showing the synthesis of various calixarenes.

All structures were in complete agreement with chemical, spectral and*

analytical data, moreover, definitely established by single crystal X-ray

crystallography by Andreetti, Ungaro and Pochini.27'AWider community of

researchers have been carrying out several attempts to exploit this new

area.

salient properties of calixarenes increasing, there is an increase in the

finding extensive

number of reports, monographs and patents. Most of the patents feature

calixarenes as an item of commerce.30 However, most of the recent

applications are associated with their properties as molecular receptors.31

The scientific challenge today lies in combining this useful

understanding and rich information with a reasonably vigorous theory so that

the reagent selection and design can be put onto a more scientific footing. A

scientific approach to reagent design for selective separation involveÿ two

important surface chemical aspects, namely (a) the selectivity of the

appropriate functional group which provides interaction specificity to the

reagent and (b) design of the corresponding molecular architecture

depending on its end use.

40-49The use of organic reagents in mineral processing

inevitable due to their efficiency in achieving selectivity in the inorganic

has become

separations. The mineral processing industry over the past few decades had

to evolve appropriate means to treat difficult to process ore deposits. The

development of highly selective mineral processing reagents, which are not

merely metal ion specific but specific to the particular mineral structure, is

essential for the exploitation of relatively more difficult to process ore

deposits. In view of the rapidly increasing demand of metals and materials

and fortunately also for a developing country like India, it is essential to have

a comprehensive strategy for * optimum utilization of national mineral

resources, while short term ad-hoc measures become necessary from time

to time in response to change in the international market situation, we

should also have a long term strategy to exploit our limited natural resources,

so as to build a self-reliant economy to the maximum extent possible. This

long term strategy would include the development of appropriate technology

to process the low grade complex ore deposits available in the country.

50,51 also called as China clay, is amongst the most widespread

materials on the earth’s surface. The mineral kaolinite, chief constituent of

Kaolin,

kaolin, is one of the commonest and versatile minerals found in the

uppermost 10 meters of the continental crust, ranking in abundance along

with minerals viz., quartz, mica, feldspar and calcite. Kaolin is the

mineralogies! name for a white hydrated aluminium silicate mineral.

Structurally, kaolinite consists of alumina octahedral sheets and silica

tetrahedral sheets stacked alternately51 and has the theoretical formula

<OH)8Si4A!4O10.

Kaolins are classed as primary and secondary deposits50. Primary

kaolins are those formed by alteration of crystalline rocks such as granite

and remain in the place where they were formed. However, secondary

deposits of kaolin are sedimentary and have been transported from their

place of origin and deposited in beds or lenses associated with other

sedimentary rocks such as sands.

Kaolin reserves are spread over all the parts of the world. Most of the

reserves are associated with impurities viz., unkaolinised feldspar, Fe, Mg,

Ti, Ca, K and sodium oxides, mica, tourmaline etc., which may be inherent in

the parent rocks. The presence of silica and feldspar in the finest size

constitute the grit material50 which renders it unsuitable for its use in the

manufacture of high-class products. The presence of iron and titanium oxide

minerals are disadvantageous as they impair whiteness and reduce

brightness, an important property for industrial utility. The other impurities

which have less impact on clay system are tourmaline and mica.

The commercialization of the crude kaolins woufd require the

elimination of the high profile discolouring impurities viz., anatase Ti02 and

Fe203 in the clay matrix. Research reveals that anatase Ti02 is one of the

Although commercial,51,52major discolouring impurities in the kaolins.

synthetic and pigment anatase is pure white with a brightness close to 100,

the anatase occuring in kaolin is dark reddish brown coloured, probably due

to iron substitution within its lattice. In addition to anatase Ti02, there is also

the presence of rutile Ti02 which occurs mostly in coarser particles. Since, in

the normal wet processing of kaolin, the extreme coarse particle fraction is

discarded. Rutile Ti02 is removed along with the coarse particle fraction

hence it is insignificant discolouring impurity.

Upgraded kaolins by minimising or eliminating these impurities have

splendid industrial applications viz., ceramic, paper, rubber, paint, textile,

plastic and pharmaceutical industries and new utilities are still being

discovered. The prime importance of kaolins lies in its chemical inertness,

whiteness, hiding power as an extender, reinforcing characteristics, low

conductivity of heat and electricity etc.

Some impurities are separated through particle size separation and

some through simple water washings. Other methods carried out involve

removal of the major discolouring impurities in the clay matrix viz., anatase

Ii02 and hematite.

Some important upgradation techniques of the kaolin are discussed below:

CalcinationAir flotation

Gravity separationChemical bleaching

Magnetic separationFroth flotation

Selective flocculationBiobeneficiation

DryProcessing:

The essential feature of Dry process53(a) involves the drying of the

crude kaolin followed by pulverization.

1 (14)

AirFlotation

Mb removes most of the grit and coarse

kaolin particles as underflow. The air flotation is relatively simple, has lower

costs, lower yields and lower quality products which are used as low-cost

filler ii the rubber, plastic and paper industries. The process involves the

following three steps:

The Air Halation process

Crude clay is shrudded into small pieces of size less than 1 inch.

Drying of the shrudded pieces by rotatory drier.

Further pulverization of the crushed clay in air-swept roller mill.

Wef Processing:

Wet processing11, a more elaborate processing scheme which resuits

in products of improved uniformity and brightness. It is by use of specialized

techniques within the water washing process so that increase in brightness

and colour improvement may be made. The important implications that

involve are as follows:

Preparation of kaolin slurries with water.

Removing coarse mineral impurities and undispersed clay by

screening.

Selection of the appropriate separation technique depending on the

various particle size fractions.

The various separation techniques are:

Calcination:(i)54 a is a well established age old process to produce

special grade kaolins depending upon calcination temperatures in the range

650-700°C, The process aimed at the removal of structural hydroxy groups

produces a bulky product with enhanced resiliency and opacity which are

desirable, attributed for paper coating applications.

Various kaolins upgraded using this technique are discussed in Tab!e-8.

(ii) Gravity Separation:

The principle of Grawfy separation

two thousand years and it remained the dominant mineral separation

technique til! the advent of advanced techniques. Gravity separation can be

successfully implemented to the ores having large differences in specific

gravity between the minerals and gangue matrix.

54(b) has been known for well over

Upgradation of kaolins through gravity separation devices viz.,

Hydrocyclones, Dorr Bowl classifier, Continuous centrifuge etc., are well

established for years being together. The most popular countries in the

international market for the supply of quality china clay viz., the UK (Cornwall

& Devon Clays), the USA (Georgia Clay deposits) and Czechoslovakia take

recourse of hydrocyclone for degritting. Gravity separation technique is not

suitable for the clays with the particle size finer than 50 microns.

Beneficiation of kaolins using this technique are discussed in Tabie-1.

Chemical Bleaching:

Bleaching56 is essentially a whitening or decolourising technique by

employing oxidising, reducing or combination of both reagents depending

upon the nature of colour imparting minerals present in the clay. Chemical

bleaching is most effective for marginal improvement in the brightness of

kaolin clays to make them suitable for paper and textile industry by way of

removal of iron bearing particles which have escaped the earlier stages of

beneficiations. The process involves the following steps:

(iii)

i) Treatment of the clay slurry (10-15% solid) with suitable chemicals to

make soluble salts of iron,

ii) Washing of the treated clay to remove excess of chemicals,

iii) Filter processing and drying of the beneficiated clay slurry.

• The chemical treatment of kaolin clays to improve brightness is mainlyi

associated with reducing agent such as sodium or zinc dithionite and

oxidizing agent such as ozone or sodium hypochlorite.

Various bleaching/leaching combinations for the upgradation of

kaolins are discussed in Tables-2-3.

Magnetic Separation:

Magnetic separation53W'5/Kb>'57 js achieved by passing the suspensions

or dry powders through a non-homogeneous magnetic field which leads to a

preferential retention or deflection of the magnetizable particulates. In

addition to applied magnetic force, separation depends on gravitational,

hydrodynamic, inertial and centrifugal forces. A review for the magnetic

separation of kaolins is summarised in Table-4.

The major discolouring impurities in the kaolin clay matrix viz.,

anatase Ti02, rutile Ti02 and hematite are only feebly magnetic with

susceptibilities typically 1CT6 cm'3. These impurities are removed, by iron-clad

solenoid High-Gradient Magnetic Separators (HGMS). The process for the

separation of discolouring impurities from the clays through magnetic

process was first patented by fennicelli in 196558 and its first commercial unit

was installed in 1973 at Freeport Kaolin’s Gordon operation by Pacific

Electric Motor (PEM) Company. Since then, the HGMS technique has gained

acceptance throughout the clay industry and has made it possible to process

lower grade crudes. Its first commercial application was improvement of the

brightness of kaolin clays, used extensively in paper, pharmaceutical and

other industries.59,60

iv) Froth Flotation:

I'he Froth flotation process54(b),55

for the recovery of valuable minerals

(10-100 microns) from ores represents the oldest and the largest practical

adsorptive bubble separation process. Froth flotation is a unit operation

which is used to separate one kind of particulate from another through their

selective attachment to air bubbles in an aqueous suspension.

The carrier flotation (piggy-back flotation or ultraflotation*

technique designed to float fine anatase particles from

clay using a conventional flotation cell. In this technique, preconditioned '

carrier particles that are in the optimum size range (e.g. -325 mesh calcite)

are added, in presence of the collectors such as fatty acids, to the flotation

circuit so that they can piggy-back micron sized anatase particles and float at

a reasonable rate. The major advantage of this process is due to the

improved flotation kinetics which in turn results in improved brightness of the

processed clay with higher recovery.

51.53(b)process) is a

Later Cundy (1969)62 developed a flotation process which requires no

carrier minerals. According to Cundy, the process cleans the minerals from

their contaminants. The essential’features of this process are two-fold.

Stage I; The scrubbing of the pulp in the presence of a dispersant and

pH regulating agent.

Stage 2: Addition of small amount of activator along with

collector.

a fatty acid-type

The collector coated impure particles may be selectively coagulated

under the condition of high-shear agitation which effectively increases the

particle size and allows them to be floated. This phenomenon is akin to the

1 (42)

shear flocculation (1975)63. Later Young et al. (1985)64 have developed a

flotation process which is designed to process a clay at high pulp density.

Various froth flotation reagent combinations for the beneficiation of kaolins

are tabulated (Table-5).

v) Selective Flocculation:

Although various flotation (beneficiation) processes have been

successfully employed in removing titaniferous impurities from clays, they

have had only limited success with some clays. However there have been

several Selective coagulation/flocculation processes

the late sixties and J.M. Huber corporation has been producing 90+ high¬

brightness clays from East Georgia crude kaolins since the early seventies.

51.65,66 developed since

Selective flocculation technology, a recent development in mineral

processing industry is ideally suited for separation in subsieve size range

(<10p). It involves the aggregation of finely divided particles suspended in

liquid (usually water) through the utilization of a bonding agent (polymericiii

flocculant) that ties the particles together. Particles bonded in this way form

aggregates (floes) of such large size that they can settle out of the

suspending liquid more rapidly.

Polymeric flocculants67,68 are generally those macromolecular organic

substances that cause finely divided particles to aggregate and form discrete

floes.

The essential features of the process are:

=> Grinding of the clay lumps into fine particle fractions.

=> Preparation of clay slurries with water.

Selection of the appropriate flocculants, dispersants, pH modifying

agents etc. depending on the response of the desired portions .of the

clay matrix.

1 (43)

Optimization of the flocculation conditions.

Filtration, drying and analysis of the recovered mineral values.

The selective flocculation technique in the beneficiation of kaolin was

in the later sixties. Due to efforts of

71-76

69.70 ;initiated by Maynard et al.

various scientists, the new technique has gained momentum in 1970’s,

Maynard (1974)'1 reports a process in which kaolinite is flocculated with a

high molecular weight and strongly anionic polymer, while leaving the

titanium and iron contaminants in suspension. Beneficiation of kaolins

through selective flocculation technique has definitely solved the purpose

upto large extent,

Literature reveals the involvement of this technique in the beneficiation of

kaolin (Table-6).

vi) Bio-Beneficiation:

Biological methods of mineral beneficiation have not even been well

understood. As different from Bioleaching, Biobeneflciation7ÿ73 by definition it

refers to removal of undesirable mineral components from an ore through

interaction with microorganisms which bring about their selective dissolution

(and removal) and thereby enriching the desirable mineral constituents in the

solid ore matrix. Earlier laboratory investigations have shown that bacteria

and fungi could be effectively used to remove iron from days.

Heterotrophic microorganisms like Aspergillus niger produce organic

acid like citric acid and oxalic acid30 during its metabolism. These organic

acids would work as chelating agents in capturing metal ions such as iron

OBJECTIVE:

Calixarenes, a new class of the organic reagents, have recently received

considerable attention by posing amazing applicability in various diversified

The calixarenes with increased selectivity, sensitivity and specificity

towards inorganic ions are competing as excellent analytical reagents. A review

of the literature reveals that not much work has been reported for the extraction

and separation of transition metal ions by using hexasulfonato calix(6)arene

(HSC(6)). In particular no data so far have been reported for the separation and

determination of Fe(III), Mo(VI) and Ti(IV) ions. With this in view it is desirable to

develop the suitable solvent extraction and trace determination of these metalV

ions and their removal from the minerals.

India is endowed with rich resources of kaolin. The kaolin reserves

located primarily in the states of West Bengal, Rajasthan, Orissa, Kerala,

Meghalaya, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Gujarat, Jammu & Kashmir,

Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh.

The recoverable kaolin reserves are estimated to be around 986 million

tonnes (18.9 million tonnes proved, 291.3 million tonnes probable and 675.6

million tonnes of possible) (Fig. 1). The world production of china clay was

placed at about 20.0 million tonnes. Indian production was only 0.66 million

tonnes as against total Indian reserves of about 986 million tonnes. The kaolin

consuming industries differ greatly -in their specific requirements. Statewise

production of the industrial specific kaolinsÿshown in Table-9.

The various techniques which have been applied to date to process Kutch

kaolins are still rather conventional type such as levigation, air flotation, filtration,

need for the upgration of the kaolins by using

new techniques. The calixarenes can be used along with other polymers viz.,

carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to improve the

quality of the kaolins.

PRESENT INVESTIGATION:

Organic reagents play a vital role in inorganic separations and

analyses. A large number of the reagents have been reported, however, still

there is a need for new types of reagents for the separation and

determination of metal ions. Calixarenes are a new class of the compounds

which have remarkable versatility for complexation with several metal ions.

However, not much work ha& been reported for the extraction of transition

metals. Hence in the present investigation a hexasulfonated calix(6)arene

has been synthesized and used for the separation and determination of

metals. It is also envisaged to remove the trace impurities of the metals from

the kaolin to improve its quality.

The thesis describes the 'synthesis of hexasulfonated calix(6)arene

(HSC(6)) and its characterisation with m.p., IR, NMR and Mass spectra.

The rapid sensitive, selective extraction and spectrophotometric

methods have been developed for the determination of iron, molybdenum

and titanium using HSC(6), These metals can be estimated in the presence

of several diverse ions. The extract was directly injected to the plasma

for ICP-AES measurements which increases the sensitivity by several folds.

The developed methods are applied for the determination of iron,

molybdenum and titanium in high purity alloys and kaolin samples.

A new selective flocculation separation (SFS) scheme has been

developed for the trace removal of discolouring metal impurities viz., titanium

and iron from the kaolin clay matrix. The SFS scheme comprises the use of

polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as dispersant, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)

enriching agent. The results were confirmed through pH studies, chemical

analysis and brightness studies.
